About Biochemistry at K-State
The department of biochemistry and molecular biophysics offers Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Science and doctoral degrees in biochemistry.
A combined B.S./M.S. degree provides undergraduates an opportunity to obtain both a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in biochemistry in five years.
The specialized track in medical biochemistry is aimed at creating successful programs of study for students in pre-medical, pre-veterinary, pre-dental or pre-nursing majors.
The molecular biophysics track develops a unique skillset for students desiring careers in basic research with additional quantitative and biophysical experience.
